Odor identity coding by distributed ensembles of neurons in the mouse olfactory cortex
Olfactory perception and behaviors critically depend on the ability to identify an odor across a wide range of concentrations. Here, we use calcium imaging to determine how odor identity is encoded in olfactory cortex.

Individual odor hedonic perception is coded in temporal joint network activity
Intro: The human sense of smell is highly individual and characterized by a strong variability in the perception and evaluation of olfactory stimuli, depending on cultural imprint and current physiological conditions.

Effect of delayed acquisition times on Gadolinium-enhanced MRI of the presumably normal canine brain [PDF]
A delay in imaging following intravenous contrast medium administration has been recommended to reduce misdiagnoses. However, the normal variation of contrast enhancement in dogs following a delay has not been characterized.

Early Gabapentin Treatment during the Latency Period Increases Convulsive Threshold, Reduces Microglial Activation and Macrophage Infiltration in the Lithium-Pilocarpine Model of Epilepsy [PDF]
The lithium-pilocarpine model of epilepsy reproduces several features of temporal lobe epilepsy in humans, including the chronological timeline of an initial latency period followed by the development of spontaneous seizures. Epilepsy therapies in humans

Odor-intensity Coding in the Anterior Piriform Cortex [PDF]
The primary olfactory cortex is defined as the region that receivesdirect fiber projection from the olfactory bulb (OB). The piriformcortex (PC) is the largest structure in the olfactory cortex. However,no ‘point to point’ anatomical connection between the OB and PChas been found (Haberly, 1998).

Olfactory cortical neurons read out a relative time code in the olfactory bulb [PDF]
Odor stimulation evokes complex spatiotemporal activity in the olfactory bulb, suggesting that the identity of activated neurons as well as the timing of their activity convey information about odors.
